Look at this picture of a lady wearing a huge fur coat and fur hat. Doesn't it look like one of Roninphy's designs?

Very interesting photos about the fur trade and fur craftsmanship.

There are several related pictures.

 

Be sure to read the captions!

 

Yes! Even in 1938 they knew what fur was for!

I particularly like the caption "For personal use only".

 

I could use someone who looked like that for personal use!

 

But. Now. What would Peter Pan think of her? Am I right that she played that part?

Samurman -- Great find!

 

WF -- You are correct. Mary Martin is perhaps best remembered for Peter Pan.
